Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a lifelong condition and it often involves impaired nutrition, wide spectrum of symptoms and it requires constant dietetic treatment. The impact of the gluten-free diet on patients’ nutritional status and on the other biochemical parameters is being widely investigated.

Here, we present the current data and research on these risk factors of atherosclerosis with respect to celiac disease. View Full-TextKeywords:
